Prostate removal with catheter out heavy bleeding

The erection is a good sign. Not so sure about the bleeding. What kind of surgery did you have? Robotic? open? You should call your doc or visiting nurse-- Now -- if the bleeding is heavy and continuous.

I second 142's comments. This is precisely the kind of thing that is NOT amenable to advice on a bulletin board.

It is not unusual for bleeding to occur. I had some bleeding that came on suddenly about 6 weeks after surgery. I called the doctor. But it was not heavy or severe.
